Review

The Arcade at Raffles Place held a fine yet simple shop selling Mee Rebus.

The shop owner was kind and seemed like she knew we were going to be

 There. This might have been our imagination though. The Mee Rebus cost

$3 in all and we thought it was worth it. The yellow noodles was not too soft

 neither was it too dry, it was just nice. The sauce was delicious and it

 catered to many food savouring tongues.  The sauce was in the middle of

being spicy and sweet. Those who have trouble with too sweet or too spicy

 Mee rebus can come to this shop and try it. Note that with a bit of lime it will

taste wonderful and a little sourish. Overall the Mee rebus was tasty and we

would recommend it to others.
